Take the free Pricing Reality Check.
Check the Data Trust behind one recent pricing decision. Complete the eight-indicator check on your own. If useful, optionally compare privately with a merchandising colleague. A score difference is a discussion signal, not proof that either person is wrong. The free check is useful on its own.
Data Trust only
This free check assesses Data Trust only. The full audit separately assesses Data Readiness, Decision Process, Incentives, Labor Capacity, Enforcement, and Adoptability. Use the evidence behind the indicator that feels hardest to score to guide your next discussion.
